As long as you are not working, you are ok with a tourist visa.

By the way with a limited partnership, if you do get involved with the day to day business, you have the same liability as the Thai partner.... unlimited. Only you have limited liability( as long as you don't get involved with management of the business)

can a non-b visa convert to a one year stay base on investor status only without work permit.

no as one of the criteria is a valid work permit.

If it is however possible, if you invested 3 million Baht in a new condo from a developer, Thai State Bank as a fixed deposit or Thai Bonds then it can.
